86511Pure lips,
sweet
seales in my
soft lips imprinted,
512What bargaines may I make
still to be
sealing?
513To
sell my
selfe I can be well contented,
514So thou wilt buy, and pay, and v
se good dealing,
515 Which purcha
se if thou make, for feare of
slips,
516 Set thy
seale manuell, on my wax-red lips.
87517A thou
sand ki
sses buyes my heart from me,
518And pay them at thy lei
sure, one by one,
519What is ten hundred touches vnto thee,
520Are they not quickly told, and quickly gone?
521 Say for non-paimet, that the debt
should double,
522 Is twentie hundred ki
sses
such a trouble?
88523Faire Queene (quoth he) if anie loue you owe me,
524Mea
sure my
strangene
sse with my vnripe yeares,
525Before I know my
selfe,
seeke not to know me,
526No
fisher but the vngrowne frie forbeares,
527 The mellow plum doth fall, the greene
sticks fa
st,
528 Or being early pluckt, is
sower tota
st.
89529Looke the worlds comforter with wearie gate,
530His dayes hot taske hath ended in the we
st,
531The owle (nights herald)
shreeks, tis verie late,
532The
sheepe are gone to fold, birds to their ne
st,
533 And cole-black clouds, that
shadow heauens light,
534 Do
summon vs to part, and bid good night.
90535Now let me
say goodnight, and
so
say you,
536If you will
say
so, you
shall haue a kis;
537Goodnight (quoth
she) and ere he
sayes adue,
538The honie fee of parting tendred is,
539 Her armes do lend his necke a
sweet imbrace,
540 Incorporate then they
seeme, face growes to face.
